Whoever thought replacing physical buttons with touch sensitive buttons really began a whole new era of unnecessary annoyance.

Dear Porsche. Once you have gone fully electric then I will never buy any of your vehicles- as in ever !!!

[idkwuttoputhere]

LOVE the quality of the mics and the cams omg its so good

[blacklotusXX]

Thank you for the insights and especially to get a feeling for the V8 sound. My S will be shipped end of July and I'm glad it sounds as good as last year's GTS. I'm really looking forward to it 👌

My Porsche Cayenne is the best Vehicle I have ever had and will only have Cayenne from now on. My only little complaint is i wish it never had 22" wheels because it can make the ride a little bit too hard sometimes.

[lightmonkey]

I wish you could add some wood trim on the blank space in front of the passenger. Seems like a wasted opportunity, especially for those who won't add the second screen as an option.

Great observation about the car following the camber of the road. Macan also does that with M+S tires which makes driving slightly more tedious as it sometimes pulls away from where you point it.

One of the best video in terms of content and presentation. Good amount of home work on script payed off but not many understand it's importance. Jumping in front of the camera and start talking isn't called a review, at least a professional one. A big 👍

Love my Cayenne as it does fit all of my needs and will replace it with the S version - that V8 will be sweet

[LifeisbetterwithaMalinois]

I was looking at GLE AMG, but love the S. Not as fast, but very cool that you get an option to add thermal night vision, which is great in areas with animals on the road. Thanks great review

[hunterhamish]

Can't the regenerative braking be adjusted in the settings to make it less aggressive?

[NedNew]

Great review but one ask, can you quote torque in Newton Metres please?

[enriqueali]

Porsche is basically a very profitable luxury SUV carmaker with a sideline manufacturing high-performance sports cars. And it's been that way for more than a decade now

[SultanA-medk]

I find it strange that no one is commenting on how getting in, and especially out, of the Cayenne is not that comfortable, thanks to the left stiff part of the driver seat. It really is an issue. In no time, the same spot will look old and worn out. How come it’s still not addressed or fixed by now…

[victorle]

Very sad with the gear shift placement (MB method)

[motorconcierge]

How much quieter it has become :( The previous V8 generations had much much much more nicer tone to them. Either this one is without PSE, or it is really new generation of exhaust volume.

[drstevej]

So the S or the more expensive GTS which has less power at this point but costs more?

[MoosePolo]

Is the S the GTS now? What are they gonna do with the GTS and turbo? They can’t have 5 models with the same engine

[RogerTay-yz]

Can the SUV version fits 4 full size golf bags without recline the back seats?

[thomascole]

I’ve placed a deposit.

Given you’ve drive it….

Would you spec the rear axle steer & dynamic chassis control?
